About the Technical Reviewers
Originally from Canada’s great north, Alexandre Beaulne pursued a bachelor’s
degree in systems neuroscience at McGill University in Montreal, followed by a
master’s degree in financial engineering at HEC Montreal. His studies, however,
culminated in his attendance at Hacker School in New York City. He has repeatedly
made the unsupported claim that he “gets” Haskell’s monads.
Peter Membrey is a Chartered IT Fellow with over 15 years of experience using
Linux and Open Source solutions to solve problems in the real world. An RHCE since
the age of 17, he has also had the honour of working for Red Hat and writing
several books covering open source solutions. He holds a Masters degree in IT
(Information Security) from the University of Liverpool, and he is currently a PhD
candidate at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where his research interests
include cloud computing, big data science, and security. He lives in Hong Kong with
his wonderful wife Sarah and their son Kaydyn. His Cantonese continues to regress,
though his Esperanto is coming along nicely.
